The
University of Dar es Salaam has a noble obligation to contribute to the
national development through teaching, research, innovation and public
services. Guided by its grand Vision 2061, the University seeks to
become a leading center of intellectual wealth spearheading the quest
for sustainable and inclusive development. This Vision is coupled with
an aspiration of becoming a world-class university that is competitive,
relevant and responsive to the national, regional and international
needs and challenges of the 21st century.

In achieving all these, the
University sets out to conduct inter-disciplinary and
multi/trans-disciplinary research by providing research funding to
academic staff members. This requires a comprehensive and dynamic
Research Agenda that can guide researchers to solicit funds to
facilitate their research activities. The UDSM Research Agenda 2018/19 -
2028/29 therefore aims at promoting research projects designed to find
practical solutions to societal needs and emerging challenges.

One
of the challenges that the University of Dar es Salaam seeks to address
through research is the global pandemic of COVID-19, which has led to
massive loss of lives worldwide accompanied with serious negative
repercussions to the economy, politics and social fabric of many
countries in the world. The negative impacts of COVID-19 will likely be
more pronounced in developing countries including Tanzania. It is on
this basis that the University of Dar es Salaam is setting some funds
aside to support research projects that aim at investigating the
dynamics of COVID-19 including its epidemiological aspects as well as
its socio-economic impacts and mitigating measures.
